Very sad. One of the best East Coast airshows.

Loved their hot ramp at show left.

More sad news. :(
The Rhode Island National Guard says the Open House and Air Show that entertained Southern New Englanders for decades won't happen for the foreseeable future.

“Due to continued operational challenges, the decision has been made not to continue hosting the air show,” said Maj. Gen. Christopher Callahan, adjutant general of the Rhode Island National Guard, in a release Monday.

It seems the articles you posted tell the same story.

A glimmer of hope that someday the airshow will return to Rhode Island.
The guard is not entirely ruling out a return someday.

"We have no plans at the moment, however I think we would all be very happy to see it return. We recognize it’s been a staple in the Rhode Island community and it’s meant a lot to each and every one of us,” Curtis said.
